LOL. Here you go again - unable to refute the content so you attack the source.


Since those sources are all known to put out dis-information, yeah, you bet I do. I don't bother with fake news sources, not worth my time.

And that is another typical leftist response when confronted with facts/data/comments they cannot refute: "it's not worth my time"

Seems it is far above your thinking capacity to understand the simple fact that Democrats are not socialists/communists... that is a reuse of long time GOP tactics going back at least to the time of the new deal.

with all the harping about leaving the country by you trump supporters I am surprised you think any rook is left in your belove Putin land..

So why do so many yearn to come to america?? as always, because with our tremendous natural resources, education, technology and infrastructure we have the greatest range of opportunities of nearly any country..

Even with the constant and successful transfer of wealth to the rich, accelerating by the writing of the 70s and the admin of the 80s, we as a country still offer a wonderful chance compared to much of the world..

How ever in your love of a totalitarian state, do feel free to leave at your convenience..

Do not let the door hit you in the butt..

Really? And you got this information where? Don't bother answering that second question, I KNOW where you got that information, and very little if anything they EVER say is true.

But hey, let's go ahead and assume what you are saying IS true, Does that mean America has been laboring under socialized medicine since the 80's? America has CONSISTENTLY had the highest health care costs since we took the lead in the 1980's, care to explain how bad socialized medicine is now? Why haven't these countries that switched to socialized medicine caught up to out health care costs? Why aren't they closing the gap?

Government produces NOTHING. It's survival depends on what government takes.
Healthcare is not a government issue, neither is charity or care for the welfare of its citizens.


It is not the role of government to produce tangible goods nor to show a profit..

The role of government is to provide for the common good.

Health care is clearly part of that common good..also the welfare of the people..

As we have been shown, goods over people has been a disaster of historical importance..

Economy first , before people turned into the worse outcome in the world..

So now you are openly advocating for Socialism in Amerika? I'm done with your posts. If you can't see the flaws in your "rationalization" your beyond comprehending an explanation. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.


Again, you did not read the points in the post..

Socialism as envisioned by the right wing is indeed not what americans want.. the real policies which the right wing is calling socialism is much different and needed for the continuation of a great country..

Your response is precisely what I mean. When push comes to shove, you're just like the rest of the progressives. You paint those who disagree with you with that broad tarnishing brush.

Hitler & Mussolini were socialists. They used planks in The Manifesto to buy oft the industrialists.

Hitler sent a letter of admiration to FDR. FDR's WPA was Hitler's inspiration to build the Autobahn.

Hitler was a champion of german industry..

Ike's american freeway was modeled after the autobahn..

We have a solid group of Libertarian in Minnesota.. A limited number of good ideas keep them from being anarchists..

My forced investment in social security was a deal in which I had no decision.
I invested 3000 dollars in the stock market 55 years ago. I now have over a 2 million dollars in my portfolio.
Which one grew? If the government couldn't grow my investment over the years, I am not to blame.

At first, bonds and blue chips, then tech, the dotcom era treated me well, now everything, ETFs, tech, health, tax free bonds, Dogs of the Dow, mutual funds, all balanced.
